Modern Felicity

Still on break, but I’ve been slowly accumulating Things that Should Be Blogged. So, to begin:

1) C.S.E. Cooney’s fabulous “Martyr’s Gem” (which I know is fabulous because I published it at GigaNotoSaurus) will be appearing in Rich Horton’s Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2014. When this story turned up in the slush I thought “Oh, no, she’s sent me fantasy and I’ve got way too much fantasy, I won’t be able to buy it.” By the time I was finished reading I was like, “Yeah, I’m gonna buy it anyway.”

If you’re a SFWA member, “Them Ships” is available for you to read. If you’re a member, you probably already know where to look for it. If you’re not (or even if you are), well, check out We See a Different Frontier, it’s got lots of good stuff in it!

3)I was podcasted! More specifically, I was a guest on the Functional Nerds podcast. It was fun, and you can listen to it if you like.

4)The io9 Book Club read Ancillary Justice, and met last week to discuss the book. Then I did a Q&A session, which was quite a good time.
